Video Description

🎙️ Experience the power of performance and precision. In this video, I record a high-energy commercial promo for the San Francisco Symphony's Summer Season, using the incredible DPA 2017 shotgun microphone—a modern replacement of the MKH 416 and a serious tool for voice-over professionals. I still think the DPA 2017 is the "best shotgun mic for voice over." We’ll explore the mic’s tone, articulation, and how it brings out every detail in a real-world VO session for a high-profile client. If you’re a voice actor, audio engineer, or a mic nerd, you’ll love this peek behind the curtain. #DPA2017 #VoiceOverMicrophone #ShotgunMic #SanFranciscoSymphony #VoiceOverDemo #MicrophoneReview #VORecording #SummerSeasonPromo #ProAudioGear #MKH416Alternative #BestShotgunMicForVoiceOver Order my New Book Now: The Modern Voice Over Career Owner’s Manual — Gear, gigs, grit.
